An Efficient, Regioselective, Versatile Synthesis of N-Fused 2- and 3-Aminoimidazoles via Ugi-Type Multicomponent Reaction Mediated by Zirconium(IV) Chloride in Polyethylene Glycol-400

Abstract: An Ugi-type multicomponent reaction of heterocyclic amidines with aldehydes and isocyanides catalyzed by zirconium(IV) chloride in PEG-400 was developed. The protocol offers the rapid, environment friendly, regioselective and versatile synthesis of medicinally important N-fused 2-and 3-aminoimidazoles in good to high yields. The combination of catalyst and solvent, that was judiciously explored, was crucial for regioselectivity and versatility of the method.

“…Compounds 3 were prepared by a ZrCl 4 -catalyzed Ugi−Strecker-type multicomponent reaction of 2-aminopyridine/pyrazine with 4-bromobenzaldehyde and tertbutyl isocyanide. 18 Compounds 4 were synthesized using 5-bromo-2-aminopyridine. Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling of various boronic acids with compounds 3 and 4 produced imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines/pyrazines (5a−j and 6a−k), respectively, in good yields.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, the synthesis of compounds 6f, 7b, 7c, 7e-7f are new and have not been reported in the literature so far. Apart from the above mentioned reagents, in general imidazo [1,2-a]pyridines have been reported to be synthesized by different methodologies for this type of condensation reactions such as Sc(OTf)3 [38], ZnCl2 [39], MgCl2 [40], ZrCl4 [41], SnCl2·2H2O [42], HClO4 [27], AcOH [28], p-TSA [43], montmorillonite K-10 [44], cellulose sulfuric acid [26], catalyst free and solvent free reaction condi-tions [45,46]. Most of these methods have many limitations in terms of lower product yields, toxicity, longer reaction time, higher energetic reaction conditions or use of hazardous and volatile organic solvents like acetonitrile, toluene, chloroform etc.…”

“…The mild reaction conditions and the availability of the starting building blocks offer by far high levels of diversity and brevity. The reaction can be performed either under solvent-free (neat) conditions or by using different solvents such as methanol [49], toluene [50], acetonitrile [51], dimethyl sulfoxide [48], polyethylene glycol [52], ionic liquids [71] and water [53]. Furthermore, diverse catalysts were reported to accelerate the reaction.…”
